What's new in Helium Music Manager v15:
- Possibility to open Playlists in new windows which floats on top of the application. Opened Playlists will remain visible during view changes and allows drag and drop from other views to queue up tracks as well as drag and drop between playlists.
- Reorganized main and context menus for a more optimized workflow. Menus are now much more logical in their order and what names that are being used on menu items.
- Active track view (available from the visualizations menu), a new “fullscreen” view that shows rotating (optional) album and artist art with controllable speed plus lyrics for the track currently playing
- Changed MariaDB/MySql database providers for better performance and stability.
- Multiple improvements to the CD Ripper.
- The Biography tab for the playing track contains artist and album image, linked artist information and editing shortcuts.
- Rewritten Helium Remote and Streamer apps with multiple improvements.
- Big improvements to the Optimize library feature:
- Possibility to select which database optimization steps to be performed. This can greatly speed up the optimization on large databases, if you only wish to run certain optimizations.
- A new optimization step that will remove all unused artists in the database. Unused artists can be left in the database either if they have previously been in the database but has been removed, or if an incorrectly names artist have been renamed (the old incorrectly named artist may still be there in that case). Some of these problems have only arised for users who have used Helium for a long period of time, through many different releases.
- For long-time users of Helium, running a full library optimization can now greatly improve the stability and speed of the program since unused data can be removed while the actual database files are also optimized for best performance.
Apart from the above changes a lot of smaller improvements and corrections have also been added to this new release.
